First, big difference between paying people who work 30-40 hours a week and they depend on the income than paying a high scholler living at home.
Second, your assertion is that EVERY single person who doesn't finish high school is lazy or too stupid too? That's a nice outlook there.
Did you ever think inner city kids may quit because they have to work and put food on the table for their families (due to a parent's sickness, or leaving)? Or perhaps, there is far too much violence and drugs at their school and they can't afford to move out to another district? There are far many more reasons people cannot graduate or go on to college, than they are lazy or too stupid. That is a very shallow, elitist, ignorant viewpoint, that unfortunately is professed and crammed down people's throat so much that is causing stress and hatred between classes.
